How to use withClassLoader method of net.serenitybdd.jbehave.Finder class

Enter the following property in serenity.properties file

webdriver.base.url = http://en.wiktionary.org

In your page object define the DefaultUrl like this

@DefaultUrl("/wiki/Wiktionary")
public class DictionaryPage extends PageObject {


}

Serenity will construct the complete URL while calling DefaultUrl.

For further reference on all the properties available in serenity.properties please refer link below https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-documentation/blob/master/src/asciidoc/system-props.adoc

I solved this using the following hack (basically injecting the service(s) myself):

@ContextConfiguration(locations = "test-beans.xml", 
                      loader = TestContextLoader.class)
public class GreetingServiceTest extends SerenityStories {

    @Autowired
    private GreetingService greetingService;

    private String greeting;

    @When("I want a greeting")
    public void whenIWantAGreeting() {
        greeting = greetingService.getGreeting();
    }

    @Then("I shall be greeted with \"$greeting\"")
    public void thenIShallBeGreetedWith(String greeting) {
        assertEquals(greeting, this.greeting);
    }

    @Override
    public InjectableStepsFactory stepsFactory() {
        return new InstanceStepsFactory(configuration(), this);
    }

    @BeforeStories
    public final void beforeStories() {
        AutowireCapableBeanFactory beanFactory = getContext().getAutowireCapableBeanFactory();
        beanFactory.autowireBeanProperties(this, AutowireCapableBeanFactory.AUTOWIRE_NO, false);
        beanFactory.initializeBean(this, getClass().getName());
    }

    private ApplicationContext getContext() {
        return SpringClassRuleHack.getTestContextManager(getClass())
            .getTestContext()
            .getApplicationContext();
    }
}

SpringClassRuleHack (must be the same package as SpringClassRule to get access to the getTestContextManager method):

package org.springframework.test.context.junit4.rules;

import org.springframework.test.context.TestContextManager;

public final class SpringClassRuleHack {

   private SpringClassRuleHack() {}

   public static TestContextManager getTestContextManager(Class<?> testClass) {
      return SpringClassRule.getTestContextManager(testClass);
   }

}

I'm getting the Spring context through SpringClassRule so that it gets cached by Spring, letting Spring control when the context needs reloading (if I have understood correctly).

I'm not entirely satisfied with this solution and I suspect it's not equivalent to enabling SpringClassRule/SpringMethodRule in the standard way, but it works in my case.

The "and etc." you reference probably has some more relevant info. Going by what you have, though, this looks like you have multiple dependencies on guava, and not all of them are the same version. (Note that some of them may be transitive dependencies: those that are included as a dependency by another dependency).

The maven-enforcer-plugin detects when a single library has multiple versions specified, and it breaks the build. If you're just trying to run a quick test, though, you can probably add -Denforcer.skip=true. This is not recommended for long-term use, but only for running your single test.

Long-term, you will ultimately need to use Maven's dependencyManagement to force a specific version of Guava to be used, overriding the version mismatch.

See if reverting to previous version of jbehave helps . There seems to be a bug with the 4.0.4 . See this link https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jbehave-dev/7OxwmOXZPVk

If you need to continue after a failed step, you should use soft assertions.

I could not make it run with using configuredEmbedder() but by adding -Dmetafilter="+working -finished" as goals in my mvn run configurations and using the tags @working for scenarios I'm working with and which I want to run and @finsihed for scenarios I don't want to execute. Still I have to change the run configuration if I want to change the meta tags so it is not very comfortable but still I get what I was looking for.

If you are using Maven take a look at Maven Failsafe plugin Rerun Failing Tests feature:

I resolved the above issue and I managed to generate the report in Jenkins. I did the following: 1)Changed the versions in properties in pom.xml file to the following:

serenity.version-1.2.4, serenity.maven.version-1.2.4, serenity.jbehave.version-1.1.0, a-maven-plugin.version=4.3.1

2)In Jenkins post build config, I changed the following:

<alwayslinktolastbuild> true </alwayslinktolastbuild> <keepAll>true</KeepAll> <reportDir>${WORKSPACE}/target/site/serenity</reportDir>

Hope this helps! Thanks! :)
